After reading through all of these posts, I can't understand those that say just stay in your home town and bet online.

Where can you bet online from the USA? Over the past 7 years I have been excluded from Pinny and all of the other good off shore books. I am now stuck with BetUS for the past 2 years and they have 20 cent baseball lines which is horrible. Unless you have a foreign address, the best option is Nevada. Am I missing something here?

SBG Global and 5 Dimes have dime lines for baseball and take US players . There are probably others .

Just work for a living...this should be just side money. It seems like people can make $ in a part time way. If not, go work at a sports book in Vegas! Win-Win...get paid, can be around this type of environment, and it's all legal.

Work for enough to make ends meet, then gamble what's left over. When sports investing is NOT your means of living, rather just side money, you feel likeyou win more often, so you do win more often within your Flow.

I have thought about your post a lot. I had some decent success at poker and black jack in my day. I have never gotten over the sports betting hurdle. It owns me.

I would have liked to try to make it at Poker but earn to good of living at what I do to risk it and have the infamous fear of failure.

I recently took a big financial risk and it is panning out for me. I hesitated to do it for years because of my fear of failure but finally, with encouragement from my wife, did it and have never been happier .

I wish you the best, I truly do, go for it, have fun and just do it!

Some words of advice.

1) You must only play games that you have a statistical advantage over- Poker, Sports Betting, BJ ( and knowing how to count) and Horse Racing ( if you are a hell of a capper) You cannot and will not win at slot, Craps, roulette etc over the long haul.

2) You must be a master of the games you choose to play. If you play successful poker, you must never be the sucker. If you do not know what I mean, get out now. I read 20 books on poker, read the forums over hands, learned to figure my odds and tried ( and succeeded sometimes) not to tilt. It must be your job, not your recreation. You will be playing for 1-3 bets an hour, that is it. As I had success at poker, I moved up tables, starting from the small stakes games and getting to the large. You realize this in a hurry, there are no fish at a $20-$40 table, those players are there because they are quite good. Sometimes, you will feel like they can see your cards.

You should feel like you can see the cards of the other players at the low stakes games.

3) If you plan to bet sports all day everyday then you need a unit system to wager on. Usually 2-4% or so of your total bankroll. Do not deviate from it, that is the road to ruin. You need to have a capping angle that no one else has. When you get it, do not share it, keep it for your own. This will be your advantage. I have tried dozens and all have failed. I will keep trying and have some this year for the NFL, I am very interested in.

4) You must learn to watch sports impassionately, objectively. It is about the money, not your team. I bet against the Rockies, far more than I bet on them, as they are terrible overvalued this year (still)

5) Look for friends that are winners. Surround yourself with positive energy, do not get in with those that are always chasing down, looking to get a loan etc. That is another thing, do not loan or borrow money. This is your job. Keep it to yourself.

6) Shop and get the best lines, I cannot emphasize this enough, the juice is what kills you over time. 5dimes is solid and will pay for now better than a book.

Let us all tail you! It will be a blast for me and the rest of the covers community. I am jealous and would love to live vicariously through you. Best of luck, knock em dead!

Hey guys,,..finally got intent-net access... Signal gets lost a lot from under the bridge I am currently living under,...(I am using my street buddy Cue Ball's new IPHONE now..)...doing great,.a bit cold at night, but me and the guys usually make a fire, swig 40's and smoke crack to keep warm.

I sit at a downtown intersection during the day with a sign that say's , "to hell with the food, I need a beer"..works great, because its like I am being honest or something?

Really....still having fun...not going crazy with me bets. Its funny, gambling has always been good to me..I remember times when I actually needed money and I won when I needed too. I really don't need money know so I been giving a little back to the gambling gods.

I agree with the guy that said get a wife and have a kid, and maybe start a business...I am looking at the business aspect right now...but until then, just working out and betting games!

I just don't get it, if you can use online sportsbooks, what benefit is there in moving to Vegas, unless you are on the strip the town if full of cons and degenerates, I armchair gamble by the pool using 5 different sportsbooks and I don't even think about heading to Vegas.

Won at sports betting this year.

My first.

I have learned to tail the great cappers on here and got a service from a friend that has been very good.

Will not live or retire on what I won but will seed my account for next year.

NBA has simply "killed" me the last couple of year and I am unsure if I want to bet much in that this year.
